For decades, cement has been relied on for its strong compressive performance, yet its brittleness has continued to limit structural resilience. As construction demands more adaptable and damage-tolerant materials, shaping cement into controlled architectures offers a promising path forward. By engineering printable cement inks with tailored rheology, complex geometries can be fabricated that distribute stress more efficiently and resist sudden fracture. This approach transforms conventional brittle cement into tougher, more reliable architected structures suited for modern structural and functional needs.
